Fire-Rated Windows
Windows near boundaries and protected routes, tested for fire.

Tell us what you need. We reply with next steps and a guide price.
We supply and install fire-rated curtain walling and fire-rated zones within standard curtain walling, alongside the fire-stopping at slab edges. External wall work is closely scrutinised after recent regulatory changes, so every element we fit is backed by evidence for its position.
External walls close to a boundary may need to be fire-resisting with limited unprotected areas. Fixed glazing that meets the wall's full fire-resistance requirement, including insulation where required, is not counted as unprotected area, so it can let you keep glass in those positions.
Work on higher-risk residential buildings in England goes through the Building Safety Regulator, which needs full product evidence at the design stage.
External fire glass must be suitable for UV and weather exposure, usually in a sealed double-glazed unit with the fire pane positioned as tested.
Whether the building is in central High Wycombe or the wider HP13, HP11, HP12, HP15 districts, we can survey and quote. We also cover Amersham, Maidenhead, Chesham. Milton Keynes, around 46 km from High Wycombe, is the largest town in the same coverage area.
After survey you get a fixed written quote for the agreed scope, so High Wycombe budgets are not open-ended.
Every quote in High Wycombe identifies the tested system: frame, glass, beads, seals and fixings, within its pane-size limits.
We can phase work in High Wycombe around residents, staff or pupils, with out-of-hours options.
Building work in England is covered by the Building Regulations 2010, with fire safety guidance in Approved Document B and impact safety guidance for glazing in Approved Document K.
Once a building is in use, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the responsible person to maintain fire safety measures, including fire-resisting glazing. The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022 add duties for multi-occupied residential buildings, including fire door checks in buildings over 11 metres.
We can survey and quote for healthcare buildings, schools and colleges and other building types in High Wycombe.
Typically where the facade is near a boundary, where it encloses a protected stair or lobby, or where fire spread between floors has to be controlled. The fire strategy sets the requirement.
Sometimes, if the existing system has a tested fire-rated version. Otherwise a local replacement may be needed.
We can give a guide range from photos and sizes, including a clear photo of any marks on the glass. A fixed price follows a survey.
Yes. We survey and install in High Wycombe and across Buckinghamshire, including the HP13 district and nearby Amersham.
